Manuelle Genehmigungsprozesse und Bottlenecks in der Briefing-Freigabe

20-40 billable hours/month lost per team due to manual approvals; at €75-150/hour blended rates = €1,500-6,000/month or €18,000-72,000/year per agency

German companies struggle with 'outdated manual workflows' and 'complex approval cycles' that consume valuable time. In marketing services, creative brief development involves multiple stakeholders (account management, creative, compliance, finance). Manual handoffs between teams create sequential delays. The Händlerbund study (March 2025) found that 50% of retailers reported revenue declines, partly due to operational inefficiencies. Survey data indicates small and medium-sized marketing agencies face similar capacity constraints.
